| Message | Besides, what about the "nuclear deterrent" you are oh-so fond of? Is it now looking so inadequate we have to resort to chemical and biological warfare? |
| Date | 22:38:28, July 30, 2005 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Defense Bill |
| Message | Nope! That'll just keep us from getting nuked. By having Chem and bio weapons, it'll make the other side think twice before using them on us since they'll know we have the ability to use them back. Its another deterrent against another threat. |

| Message | So you're saying they won't be scared by nuclear weapons but they will by bio/chem weapons? Needless to say, they are banned in RL, not surprisingly after their bloodstained history. |
| Date | 22:46:40, July 30, 2005 CET | From | Rightist Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Defense Bill |
| Message | Didn't say either of those actually. Nuclear deterrent is still there. They know we'll be able to strike back if we're ever attacked with nukes. By Having Chem and Bio weapons, we're telling the world that we have them too so don't hit us with those either. With this, we'll have a double deterrent and that's a plus. |
| Date | 13:19:23, July 31, 2005 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Defense Bill |
| Message | No, because what you are saying is that they wouldn't worry about nuclear retaliation against chemical or biological attacks. |
| Date | 21:28:10, July 31, 2005 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Defense Bill |

| Date | 20:46:51, August 01, 2005 CET | From | Social Dynamist Party | To | Debating the Tukarali Defense Bill |
| Message | We believe this is an unnecessary burden on the taxpayer, given that we already have a deterrent. |
